I have to say, after watching your channel for years, I genuinely think you might be the best in the world at explaining travel video concepts to beginners. What you have achieved through your body of work is genuinely remarkable. As an educator, I appreciate the talent that goes into not only mastering these concepts, but also teaching them to other people.

[@ThomasAlexNorman]

Wow, thank you for that.

[@travelingcouplecarlosandwendy]

I have to 100% agree with you!!

[@dusshan1]

well said. Not everybody is also a good teacher. I see very high value as beginner in these videos

[@Kobiljon_kundaligi]

I was about to make an online travel vlogging course purchase. But after watching this, I decided to learn for free on CZcams. I got what i need for a start. Very informative, thank you.

[@trishalim]

Thank you for this video! 😊
0:35 step 1 ~ select your shoots around the story
1:56 step 2 ~ shoot for flow (where you are now, continous thinking how you're going to arrive where you going to arrive)
4:18 Step 3 ~ Let the song dictate the structure of your video
I always slap on my song after editing the video 🤦🏻‍♀️ bad habit! I need to change. Also i tend to put in too many clips at the front half of video, loop my song then rush thru after the mid to end of video cos i didnt do step 3 😁

[@samuellewis4042]

I found this incredibly helpful at the start. The idea of affectively having an idea of a storyboard was a priceless bit of advice so thank you for your help.

[@travelfoodielove]

Omg thank you so much for this!!! I love that ya back on CZcams

[@Matt_warren_photography]

This is by far the best tutorial on making a vlog video answered all my questions so thanks for that! Question regarding music... What words do you you to find the music. Sometimes I have a rough idea on the style of music I want but I cant always find excatly what im wanting.... Any tips on that?

Thank you sir

[@weekendcrew.]

I’m that beginner you talk about in this video. I have 1/2tb of footage and can’t really find a way to put it together to make a decent video. Do you have any advice on how to do it or should I leave it alone and plan better next time. Thanks

[@myonedayhops]

Thanks 👍🏼

[@TravelwithLil8]

How do you find the music without copyright infringement?

[@arielzarate5969]

[@LionMartell]

Something about this particular video hit home. A “click” moment.
I went to France and basically made a montage and didn’t understand why there was no story lol thank you

[@Travelmelogs]

Subscribing because of this video

[@pantorillamilesbadilla2414]

what's is the title of the background music you did in your intro?

[@ExploringCanadaInfo]

So good I watched it twice! Gems in here and also a confirmation of things I've adapted into my style. Thank you Thomas! 👋🇨🇦

[@ThomasAlexNorman]

Awesome.

[@dimple61]

What do you film with

[@YoyaFabulosa]

Very helpful! I've noticed when working with a editor that they plan the soundtrack first, and it's exactly because of everything you listed on step three.
Thank you!

[@GrandWalkingTours]

Guilty . i am 100% Guilty of not editing clips to the beat of a sound .... but its one I'm trying to focus on cheers for this going to give this a test out on the weekend

[@sajaalgburi3479]
